Goodness-of-Fit Tests to Compare Two Binned Histograms

Roofit and RooStats

What toolkits are available for goodness-of-fit tests between two histograms (much like the KolmogorovTest() function included in ROOT). I would like to use other statistical tests to compare two histograms as well. I have looked at the ‘HEP Statistics Project’ but that software package will not seem to configure for me. (the config folder seems to be corrupted?)

Thanks

Presently we have only the chi2 test

root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/TH1.html#TH1:Chi2Test

or the K-S test:

root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/TH1.ht … ogorovTest

The HEP Statistics Project is having more methods, such as the Anderson-Darling or Cramer-Von-Mises. You should contact them, if you have problems to install the package. Eventually, if you find some of these methods really useful, we could think to include them in ROOT.
